It’s usually easy to find automotive restoration upholstery kits that have an original appearance. However, what if you want an awesome and ready to install upholstery kit that uses the same patterns, stitch styles and assembly techniques of the original upholstery, but is made with custom fabrics?

This is going to cost an arm and a leg isn’t it?” Relax, LeBaron Bonney has got you covered. We’ll produce a complete and ready to install (by you or an upholstery shop) custom upholstery kit for your vehicle using the same factory original patterns, stitch styles, and production techniques that we use for our concours winning restoration interiors.

Our EZ Boy Daily Driver Series Interiors were developed for individuals who want exacting fit, high quality, and a lower price point, but don’t need exacting original type materials. They’re more than happy with materials that look like those original from the factory, yet are more appropriate for casual use rather than a concours winning restoration. Let’s step back and ponder the words “lower price point”. That’s a phrase everyone likes. Who doesn’t like to save money? I know I do. But what’s the catch? There has got to be one – especially when seemingly contradictory words like “excellent fit” and “high quality” are thrown into the mix. “Lower price point” is often associated with “shortcuts”, and “I would like to return this item for a full refund”. However, sometimes with “lower price point” you can have your cake and eat it too. By the way, I also like cake… Read More

ABOVE: A few examples of the Houndstooth Fabrics we offer Houndstooth fabric is a woven wool cloth that was created in Scotland in the 1800’s. The fabric is distinguished by a pattern of broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes. Incidentally, versions of the fabric with small checks is known as Puppytooth. Houndstooth fabric was originally used to make outer garments worn by shepherds. Eventually, the fabric founds its way into high fashion in the late 1800’s, being used to make suits sold at high-end clothiers. As the 1900’s marched on, Houndstooth fabric became a status symbol for the wealthy and was used for clothing and accessories by such famous designers as Christian Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Emporio Armani. Coming from humble roots, the fabric became a star. Auto designers took notice as well. In the late 1950’s-1960’s vinyl and non-wool materials featuring Houndstooth patterns gained prominence for use in.. Read More
